DANBURY REPORTER Volume LI. HUGE SALES BY TOBACCO CO-OPS Will Pay Farmers $2,300,000 Sept. 15—Sell More Tobacco To Europe—Open Market In East Sept. 2. Over 23.1)00,000 pounds of to *' bacco has been sold by the Tobac co Growers' Cooperative Associ ation since August 1, and this new record for rapid sales will be followed by a payment of $2,- 3'J0.000 to association members in the old belt of Virginia and £'• >rth Carolina on September 15, according to announcement made at today's meeting of the direc tors of the tobacco cooperative in its Raleigh headquarters. The pa>ment of $2.-!00.0 ,M ' to association members in the old belt month will bring their total receipts i:i cash from the 1923 crop to approximately $14. (, »MI.(100 or seventy-five per cent of the bankers' valuation on their deliveries. According to A. R. Breedlove. general manager of the leaf de partment. the success of the as- j nociation in selling its 1923 to bacco may be judged by the fact that only 17.000,000 pounds of bright Hue cured tobacco from the r'23 crop now remains unsold by the association as compared j to 50,000,00') pounds of the 1922 crop which it held at this time * last year. Beneficial results of the com mission sent by the associated growers to Eurooean countries were reported by General Mana ger Richard R Patterson at to day's meeting of the hoard. He atated that the association has row secured one of the largest and best known concerns in continental Europe to act as its exclusive selling agency for the foreign trade. The association I has also completed shipments of ' its tobacco to the Austrian Gov ernment, res llting from the visit of the official commission from | that country who supplied their entire needs for Virginia-Carolina! tobaccos by purchases from the J Tobacco (trowers Co-operative Association. It was also learned today that the Austrian officials took back with them a formula for the manufacture of cigarettes from American tobaccos which £as supplied to them at their re quest by General Manager Patter son of the tri-state association. Deliveries to the association's warehouses in South Carolina | have increased rapidly, and are | considerably in excess of those which marked the opening of the 1923 season in that state.

S. D. FRI3SELL. Danburv, N. C., Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1924 PRICES HIGHER ON TOBACCO Average Price On Fairmont, N. C., Market For Past Week Was 515.70, Against $14.48 For Previous Week. Fairmont, Aug. 19.—The second week this season of to bacco marketing in the so-called South Carolina belt which takes j in all of the early opening border; markets of North Carolina, finds' the general average for the week : considerably higher than the j week before This advance intaverage is due to two reasons. I First, the bottom primings have, nearly all been sold and thecffer-j ings were made up of tobacco 1 i coming from higher up the staik.: Second, to right much stiffening, in the prices of the better grade | of tobacco. A great many curings are now averaging $35 to >4«i and *ls. with a few of the real fancy grades selling for 859 and S6O. Some of the common grades did ! not seem to be selling quite as! high the latter part of the week ' before, notably a few of the grades ranging heretofore in prices from sll to sls. It is going to be a very short crop in pounds in this belt as the average production in pounds per acre according to best information available, will be only between 4'H) to 450 pounds per acre. The official sales on'.this market for the week, according to the secretary of the board of trade's report shows total sales of 961,813 pounds which averaged $18.70.as against last week's total sales of 670,544 pounds which averaged $14,58. Total of this market to date 1.(>3*2,357 pounds, average $17.('3. The gain in pounds for the week was therefore -.'l.'-MO and gain in average for the week, i $4 22 On many of the Eastern North Carolina markets some of the best tobacco of the week comes in on Monday. This was the ca9e in Fairmont last Monday, as the entire sales on that day reached the high average of $20.41. It is very probable that in some sections oT the South Carolina belt on the other side of the Pee Dee river where the crop is re ported to be better this season around Darlington and Timmons ville for instance—the average for the week may be better than the average of this market; but taken all in all the Fairmont average for the week will miss but little, if any, the average for the entire belt, for the Fairmont market is an old established strong market and naturally draws to it in this day and time of long hauls with auto trucks patronage from a radius of many miles. We take it, therefore, that the offerings on this market were typical of the kind sold in the whole belt. Some of its patrons the past week came from portions of Eastern North Carolina, and their tob'abco looked similiar to ours. They need "the jack'' and | did not care to wait for the open, ling of the markets in their belt. RUFUS M.

BUYS BAILEY PROPERTY Dei' 1 Was Closed In Winston- S.i.eni Yesterday Greens boro Man Was Successful Bidder. W inston-Salem, August 20 George T. Penny, of Greens boro. successful bidder in the sale of the property of Bailey Brothers, Inc., tobacco manu facturers in this city, announced Wednesday that he had sold the entire property to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company. "My associates interested in the purchase of the property of Bailev Brothers, Inc., were in sistent that the plant and brands be removed from Wjnston-Salem and operated in another city. Having come to realize that the larger part of the value of this property lay in the real estate and that it could probably be more advantageously handled in in Winston-Salem, I today inter viewed several local tobacco manufacturers with a view to making disposition of the proper ty to some Winston-Salem con cern. After having failed to make a deal with the several manu facturers first approached, I finally succeeded late this afternoon in disposing of this property to R. J.
